The Primordial Record novel Chapter 1145

Chapter 1145: Desperate Pursuit (final)

Lost seemed surprised by this admission, and he cleared his throat while assuming a wise expression, he had been doing this all this while after he saved the life of the kid, and finding out that he liked it, he did not intend to stop as he channeled his inner-Rowan, of course, his sage-like demeanor was spoilt by his boyish figure and the annoying laughter arising from all the golden lights around them, despite all of this it did not stop him from promptly replying to the golden giant,

"Of course, it did not feel good, helplessness has never felt good. The instincts in your heart are yours, but they do not yet belong to you. The faster you understand this concept, the easier it will be for you to master yourself. Give your body a chance to catch up with your mind, or else you shall fall before your time is ripe. This was a lesson that your previous self, despite his greatness, never learned."

The golden giant shuddered, no longer doubting the hints about his past,

"How am I supposed to fight the creator if I have limits like these?"

Lost smiled, "That is the beauty in this duel. How can a man stand before god? How can a god stand before an Empyrean? How can an Empyrean stand before a Primordial? Do you think he wants this battle because you are his equal? No, there are far more terrifying creatures out in reality, but he sees something in you, something I think he respects, and that respect was never about your power."

"I see," the golden giant groaned, his empty eyes seemingly focused on distant thoughts, "I don't know your limits," Lost said, "I don't know which heights you might reach in the future, but if I was to bet a million times out of a million, I would bet against you in this duel. Yet this is where the miracle lies. What if?"

The giant remained silent and Lost looked around awkwardly, "Our mission is on track, despite us not standing our ground and dying needlessly against a greater force, we are a pair of under-leveled underdogs taking thousands of creatures with the power of Will and we made them dance to our tune. Surely you can recognize the victory in that?"

"I am not a fool Lost," the golden giant mumbled, "I understand that the ultimate aim of this venture is to protect my home. I have not lost sight of that. I was just a bit... overwhelmed, my mind is clear now, I am with you to the end."

Lost laughed, "Very good, because you know we can't avoid them forever. According to my calculations, we would be discovered in the next ten minutes... no make that ten seconds... Move!"

The golden giant swerved to the side and accelerated with immense force, Lost had barely wrapped blaming runes all over their bodies before the entire space for more than twenty miles became frozen, and they became like flies trapped in amber.

A powerful Ascendant who Rowan would have recognized for he was the one that had frozen him in place when he battled and killed the Divine Ascendant six years ago on the Threshold. At that time this Ascendant had glowed like the sun and he could easily see the connection between him and one of the Ascendant Suns overhead. But now, everything had changed and the looks and demeanor of this Ascendant had transformed.

Lost and the Golden Giant were thousands of miles away at this point. Using spells, Lost had been able to create long distance warp points which he used to quickly shuffle across space. There was no real need for them to cross space by flying across.

It was the golden giant that felt it first, although weaker than Lost, his instinct for danger was greater. Behind them the world turned red and black.

"Uh, Lost, what is that? I don't like the feeling I am getting from it."

Lost had gone pale, and he began to hurriedly run his calculations, and what he discovered made him despair. Although they had tried to move as far as possible from the location of the city, this move that had been unleashed was so devastating, if it was to be used outside Known Reality, it would destroy multiple universes, because the grade of the Ascendant who did this was at the 6th Dimensional level.

Lost did not care about losing his life, but he could allow harm to come to Rowan, and he was out of options. The devastation of this move alone should wipe out at least a million lower continents and turn the entire city and Rowan with it, to dust.
